I've got a 2.5kg parcel to send back to ebuyer, whats the cheapest method of doing so?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this question.

    How much did it cost you for postage when you received it. I'm just guessing that it might cost the same to send back.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    It cost £5 to be delivered, I assume it would cheaper for ebuyer to send parcels as they would have a business account with the delivery company.

    Btw thanks for the reply

    Varies a bit by who is offering any specials at the moment. Go to the post office to check how much will cost by post.

    Then compare with Interparcel (http://www.interparcel.com) and ParcelMonkey (http://www.parcelmonkey.co.uk) - they are both 'resellers' of standard courier services (DHL, UPS etc), but generally are cheaper than going to courier company direct.

    From bitter experience I will tell you to NEVER use parcel post for anything breakable always use first class or a courier
